With These Stones

about

1 Peter 2:4-8, Ephesians 2:20-22

lyrics

Come you orphans
Come you fatherless
Come you outcasts
fallen through the cracks

Come you unclaimed
Come you scandalous
The Lord has gathered these unto himself

With these stones along the margins
and the pieces they threw out
He will gather them around a Cornerstone
With these disregarded people
that the foolish disavowed
He will build up a house unto himself

Come you "unchurched"
Come you struggling
Come discounted
Come you pondering

Come you lowly,
deconstructing
The Lord has treasured these discarded jewels

With these stones along the margins
and the pieces they threw out
He will gather them around a Cornerstone
With these disregarded people
that the foolish disavowed
He will build up a house unto himself

You’ve picked up rocks to stone them
and with your mouths condemn them
the very ones invited
to people his kingdom

You’ve picked up rocks to stone them
You’ve ostracised, condemned them
but can’t you see that we’re all
living in glasshouses

With these stones along the margins
and the pieces they threw out
He will gather them around a Cornerstone
With these disregarded people
that the foolish disavowed
He will build up a house unto himself

All these disregarded people
that the foolish disavow
will be gathered ‘round the Cornerstone Himself
